The demarcation of the border starts with border post number 1 at the Drielandenpunt in Vaals and ends with border post number 365 in the Zwin west of Retranchement in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen.
When border marker 1 in Vaals was established, this was still a Four-Country Point, after all, until the Treaty of Versailles of June 28, 1919, Belgium, the Netherlands, Prussia and the neutral region of Moresnet bordered each other here. Boundary marker 365 was the last marker until 1869. Further towards the North Sea, the border was formed by the Zwin estuary. After diking the area, boundary posts 366 to 369 were placed. They bear the year 1869.
